  1. SUPERCHARGED COMPUTING FOR THE DA VINCIS AND EINSTEINS OF OUR TIME We pioneered a supercharged form of computing loved by the most demanding computer users in the world — scientists, designers, artists, and gamers. NVIDIA GPU computing has become the essential tool of the da Vincis and Einsteins of our time. For them, we’ve built the equivalent of a time machine. Fueled by the insatiable demand for better 3D graphics and the massive scale of the gaming market, NVIDIA has evolved the GPU into a computer brain at the intersection of virtual reality, high performance computing, and artificial intelligence. Image: Scientists using GPU computing were able to “see” gravitational waves for the first time in human history.

  2. THE TIME HAS COME FOR GPU COMPUTING For 30 years, the dynamics of Moore’s law held true. Microprocessor performance advanced at a rate of 50 percent per year as more and more transistors were fit onto a single chip. But that approach is hitting the limits of semiconductor physics, and, today, CPU performance only grows by 10 percent per year. NVIDIA GPU computing has given the industry a path forward — and will provide a 1,000X speed-up by 2025. 3

  3. THE EPICENTER OF GPU COMPUTING NVIDIA’s GPU Technology Conference was started in 2009 to foster a new approach to high performance computing. Today, GTC is one of the most important AI events of the year.

From weather prediction to material science and from wind tunnel simulation to genomics, NVIDIA accelerated computing is at the heart of HPC’s most promising areas of discovery. 13

  13. POWERING NOBEL PRIZE WINNERS NVIDIA GPU computing played a role in two Nobel Prize-winning discoveries in 2017. The prize for physics was awarded to a team of scientists who detected gravitational waves for the first time in human history. And the prize for chemistry was awarded for work in cryogenic electron microscopy, which allows scientists to see detailed protein structures at the atomic level (pictured). 14

  14. NVIDIA IGNITES THE AI BIG BANG Artificial intelligence is the use of computers to simulate human intelligence. AI amplifies our cognitive abilities — letting us solve problems where the complexity is too great, the information is incomplete, or the details are too subtle and require expert training. Learning from data — a computer’s version of life experience — is how AI evolves. GPU computing powers the computation required for deep neural networks to learn to recognize patterns from massive amounts of data. This new computing model sparked the AI era. 15

  15. THE ERA OF AI AI The PC revolution put a computer in every home. The mobile era put a computer in every pocket, and then the cloud turned every mobile device into a supercomputer. The AI era will infuse intelligence into trillions of computing devices and be the single largest opportunity the industry has ever known. AI will spur a wave of social progress unmatched since the industrial revolution. CLOUD MOBILE PC 16

  16. POWERING THE AI REVOLUTION GPU computing is the most productive and pervasive platform for deep learning and AI. It begins with the most advanced GPUs and the systems and software we build on top of them. We integrate and optimize every deep learning framework. We work with the major systems companies and every major cloud service provider to make GPUs available in data centers and in the cloud. And we create computers and software to bring AI to edge devices, such as self-driving cars and autonomous robots. ONE ARCHITECTURE 17

  17. VOLTA EVERYWHERE Volta, the world’s most powerful GPU computing architecture, was built to drive the next wave of AI and HPC. With Volta in full production, NVIDIA’s state- of-the-art GPU technology is available everywhere. Every major cloud service provider now offers Volta instances, and every major computer maker offers Volta-based servers for on- premise data centers. EVERY CLOUD EVERY COMPUTER MAKER 18

  18. SUPERCOMPUTERS PURPOSE-BUILT FOR AI While deep learning holds enormous promise, it requires a massive amount of computing power. To arm data scientists in every organization, we created a lineup of AI supercomputers. NVIDIA DGX-1 with Volta, the world’s first 1 petaflops computer, delivers the performance of up to 400 servers in a single box; while DGX Station packs 480 teraflops of computing power into a whisper-quiet workstation. 19

  19. VOLTA TAKES SATURNV TO NEW HEIGHTS NVIDIA’s own SATURNV is one of the most powerful AI supercomputers in the world. It’s also the fourth most energy efficient, based on the November 2017 Green500 list of supercomputers. SATURNV is powered by 5,280 Volta GPUs, giving it a previously unimaginable FP16 performance of more than a half an exaflops on AI workloads. 20

  20. NVIDIA GPU CLOUD — ONE PLATFORM, RUN EVERYWHERE The NVIDIA GPU Cloud gives AI and HPC developers access to optimized software stacks wherever they want it — on PCs, in the data center, or via the cloud. We offer containerized stacks for deep learning, HPC, and HPC visualization. NVIDIA GPU Cloud makes it easier for developers to focus on their work. 21

  21. TRILLIONS OF INTELLIGENT THINGS AI will infuse intelligence into 20 million cloud servers, hundreds of millions of autonomous machines, and trillions of IoT devices. But AI inferencing platforms must be programmable to run the increasingly diverse, and more complex, AI networks. NVIDIA TensorRT™ 3, the world’s first programmable inference accelerator, sharply boosts the performance and slashes the cost of inferencing. TensorRT 3 on Volta speeds up image classification 40X over the fastest CPU, and 140X for language translation. With such performance, just one 8-GPU server can replace 160 dual-CPU servers. 22

  22. AI IS REVOLUTIONIZING EVERY INDUSTRY In addition to our AI technologies, we advance fundamental research, foster universities and startups, and bring our full capabilities to industries where we can have the greatest impact. 23
